ORDINARY MIRACLE - SARAH MCLACHLAN
It took Sarah McLachlan nearly a decade to graduate from mod-rock darling to mainstream deity, via her late-’90s Lilith tour and string of cross-format hits, including “Building a Mystery,” “Aida” and “Angel.” Since, output has been sporadic; even upcoming album “Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff, Volume 2″ (following 1996’s “Volume 1″) leaves fans itching for the next consummate studio release. “Ordinary Miracle” was recorded for the 2006 film “Charlotte’s Web,” and it’s a sure reminder of the comfort and joy that McLachlan is renowned for. Written by Glen Ballard and Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, the gentle ballad breezes along with pastel perfection, guided by McLachlan’s lovely, familiar vocal technique.
